in 1978, British MP already protested against detention without trial

Mr Ivor Clemitson (Luton East)

When my hon. Friend or my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary visits Singapore, will he tell Mr. Lee Kuan Yew that over 80 hon. Members of this House have signed an Early-Day Motion protesting at the detention of people without trial in his country?

Mr Chris Price (Lewisham West)

Will my right hon. Friend consider visiting Singapore? If he does, will he convey to the Prime Minister of Singapore—as his predecessor mentioned in the House about a year ago—that it would enormously raise the status of that country if the detainees whom we put in prison 13 years ago and who are still there were released? Will he also convey to the Prime Minister of Singapore that if he does not do this his party is in danger of being expelled from the Socialist International?

Mr James Callaghan (Cardiff South East)

Almost any question is in order arising out of the question whether I have plans to visit Commonwealth countries, but it would not be helpful for me to comment in detail upon the internal policies of those Commonwealth countries with which we are in temporary disagreement. Lee Kuan Yew is well aware of our views on these matters. At the last Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference he indicated to us his approach to the question how to deal with these prisoners, who have been imprisoned without trial for some years. We must have some tolerance for another Commonwealth Government.

Lim Chin Siong, the hero

He was the darling of the crowd. Who destroyed him ? Did the people here forsook that man for a dictator ?

Poor Could Have Sabo Oppo Too

According to my calculation, some poor people could have hoped for a PAP office at their premise to do some good to them like alms from the fascist. By voting for a Oppo is to cut off this option of the last hope. For those who have tried and failed (previously a fascist territory), they will have to go for the second option.

Some Sinkies are balless, really. That also explained those who voted for toilets !
